Appraisal Season pt. 2
So I ended up getting a hike I’m not so satisfied with but I’m planning to switch soon. Do I negotiate for a better hike or just sit back and work on switching? Thoughts?
The way I think of it - If you had the budget for a counteroffer - why wasn’t it offered before they resigned or when they asked for a raise. Hell - why wasn’t it offered to begin with when they were joining?
Why did it take a resignation or rejection letter for you to wake up to their value? Let me guess - you didn’t see it, right? But the second they’re halfway out the door, suddenly they’re worth more? leadership / desperation.
A counteroffer isn’t a reward. It’s not recognition. It’s a bribe wrapped in guilt. And you’re not fixing the problem - you’re buying time until they find a company that values them (I hope so) or offers them right .. before .. they have to make the leave move.
Stop playing defense with your best/in-coming people. You had your chance. You have your chance. Don’t blow it up.
If you only see someone’s worth after they’re gone, the problem isn’t them. It’s you.
Sure - some game the system. For the rest - nah! Your logic doesn’t hold good enough. Do better.
The HR in my last company made a counter offer 3 days before my last day. I had a notice of three months.
A Friend of mine later told me that this as a policy decided by the HR so that the candidate doesn't have any time to re negotiate with the hiring company.
Corporate BS

It's getting dirtier by the day and sure some orgs are still up to their dirty tricks.
